edited by Marios Soutsos and Peter Domone.
- Fifth edition.
- Boca Raton, FL : CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, c2018.
- xliv, 820 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 27 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Atoms, bonding, energy and equilibrium -- Mechanical properties of solids -- Structure of solids -- Fracture and toughness -- Liquids, viscoelasticity and gels -- Electrical and thermal properties -- Deformation and strengthening of metals -- Forming of metals -- Oxidation and corrosion -- Iron and steel -- Aluminium.
"This established textbook provides an understanding of materials' behaviour through knowledge of their chemical and physical structure. It covers the main classes of construction materials: metals, concrete, other ceramics (including bricks and masonry), polymers, fibre composites, bituminous materials, timber, and glass. It provides a clear and comprehensive perspective on the whole range of materials used in modern construction, to form a must-have for civil and structural engineering students, and those on courses such as architecture, surveying and construction." -- Publisher.
